Spacing Issue when Previewed

Aug 15, 2012 12:00 PM

Tags: #line #spacing #question #slides

For some reason, the spacing in the question slides, especially with multiple choice questions, seem to be uneven. It views fine in the Edit mode but when I Preview it, this is what I get to see:

Any thoughts on what I can do to eliminate this spacing issue?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello,

     

    Each of the answers is in its own text caption. They are evenly spaced ... if your answers have only one line. But the captions expand automatically if you have multiple lines, whereas the space between the captions doesn't change, which causes your issue.

     

    My work flow is this:

    • Select the 'biggest' caption, in your example it would be the A-answer, it will be the 'model'.
    • With Shift add the other answer captions to the selection, use the right-click menu, Align, Resize to the same size. Now all captions have the same size
    • Deselect, select the bottom answer D and move it down to provide enough space; tip: use SHIFT-Down (moves 10px) or CTRL-Down (moves 16px) not to disturb the alignment
    • Now select all answers (you can draw a selecting rectangle crossing all) and use Align, Distribute vertically.

     

    This work flow will also provide enough space in case you use Shuffle answers.

    If you perhaps are using CP6, the answers seem to be grouped in another "rectangle", then you'll have first to make that area bigger using the Transform accordion, unchecking the Constrain proportions. A very annoying extra step... not the only one that is frustrating me.
